Tottenham Hotspur could be set for another transfer battle in January, with reports suggesting the club is once again eyeing a move for Morten Hjulmand.
The January transfer window is fast approaching, and Tottenham Hotspur could very much be busy when it does.
Two sporting directors are currently at the helm for Spurs, and with a £100million injection having recently made its way into the club, there could well be some top signings in the works.
The midfield position under Thomas Frank has not entirely been the strongest, with the Dane yet to find the right combination, and now reports claim Spurs could be in for a player they tried to sign in the summer window.
Tottenham preparing move for Morten Hjulmand
According to Record, as relayed by Sport Witness, Tottenham are understood to be preparing a bid for Morten Hjulmand, as they are one of several European clubs believed to be circling for the midfielder ahead of the winter window.
The Lilywhites are believed to be leading the way to land the Danish midfielder, but clubs across Europe also remain in the mix.
Sporting resisted offers in the summer after striking an agreement with Hjulmand to remain until the end of this season, despite interest from Spurs at the time.
The report adds that Hjulmand will receive a cash bonus if that happens, with Sporting also maintaining their firm stance on the €80million (£68.5m) release clause in his contract.
Spurs could bid for Hjulmand in January
Sporting are said to be expecting ‘headaches’ in the January transfer window despite Hjulmand signing a new deal and his £68.5m release clause remaining active.
Tottenham are reportedly keeping an eye on the midfielder’s situation, and Sporting are well aware of that, as they brace themselves for potential bids.
A bid could pretty much come from Tottenham or other suitors in Europe, but Spurs are certainly viewed as one of the sides most interested in the Danish midfielder, who continues to impress in Portugal.
